The current generation Ferrari F430 succeeded the 360 back in 2004 and since then we have seen special versions created including the F430 Scuderia which was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Having been on the market now for four years and taking into account its predecessor's life span was six years, we can only assume the Italians have development well under way for a replacement. Obviously at this point we have no idea what the future may bring, but that hasn't stopped Italian designer Luca Serafini from producing a number of other quit stunning renderings of a concept of what the successor to the F430 may look like.

The design follows Luca's tried and tested process: Brainstorming - sketches - modelling – concept. “Feeling the need to replace the 430, i started looking closer the classic Ferrari models. It was important for me to reach in the new concept a path through the past,” commented Luca.

The next step for the Italian Designer is to create 1:4 scale model and judging by these renderings we can only hope someone in Ferrari is watching, you can check out some more of his work at his deviantART home page here.

nice!, although the front grill really is a bit iffy, could only imagine what this would look like should it see the light of day as a GT racer, with the enormous GT wing, sponsors and aero parts.
why didnt they give this guy to do the california ALONE?

maybe it isn't.... some sources tell me it may just be front engined, tranny out back scenario, same thing that we... err ... same thing some other design teams have been wanting to go with for some time now
